Very often, movement is used in complexes, especially when working with the body weight. Such series are very effective for home workouts. For example, alternating squats, Good Morning, push-ups, jumping, etc. When tilting, it is very important to control the amplitude. This is a universal exercise that is suitable for all people, regardless of level of training. Nevertheless, beginners and those who already have problems with the lower back need to make a movement without weight and without strong bends forward. It is much more important to concentrate on working muscles so that the load falls on the lower back, buttocks and hip biceps. To focus on the buttocks, you need to bend not to the level of parallel, but about 45 degrees. This technique allows you to maintain tension in the buttocks, we talk about the main advantages of movement, it should be noted that there is no load on the spine. Unlike hyperextension, where you can easily be injured by moving too fast (or with a sharp and strong slope), good morning is considered less dangerous. The only exceptions are cases when athletes take a lot of weight, although it is much better to progress not by increasing weight, but by improving technique, amplitude and concentrated performance of inclines.

– while inhaling, lean forward gently while taking your pelvis back, your back should be straight, and the inclination should be done only at the expense of the hip joint, and not the back muscles (do not confuse this exercise with hyperextension)
